THE POLISH WIENIAWSKI PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA
Saturday, March 5, 2022 at 7:30 PM
The Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in December 1944. Its beginnings go back to numerous chamber and solo concerts given by musicians who after World War II established ties within Poland. The repertoire and artistic considerations, as well as the joy of making music together, led to a premiere chamber music concert, held on February 10, 1945 in the hall of the Music Society. This concert gave the impulse to extend the orchestra and a classical music gala was held on May 18 of the same year – which was at the same time the first symphony concert in post-war Poland. The Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic Orchestra has gone on many concert tours. Performances in Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Sweden, Germany, South Korea, Denmark and Ukraine were acclaimed both by the critics and the public. The orchestra participated in numerous international festivals and Franco Ferrara Conductors’ Seminar in Siena. The Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic is the largest music institution in eastern Poland. It is visited not only by local music-lovers, but by cosmopolitan Polish and international patrons alike. This is a place where you can enjoy art of the highest quality. The Philharmonic offers symphony concerts, recitals, organ and chamber music soirées performed by the most prominent Polish musicians and internationally acclaimed artists.

Tusk a Fleetwood Mac Experience
Saturday, April 9, 2022 at 7:30 PM
No fancy tricks, no gimmicks, just five musicians recreating the music of Fleetwood Mac to perfection with note for note renditions that no other Fleetwood Mac tribute on the touring scene today can come close to duplicating.
Tusk covers all the great hits of Fleetwood Mac, which has featured the talents of Mick Fleetwood, Christine and John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and others over the years. The five seasoned, well-respected musicians comprising Tusk have been making music together in various combinations and styles, in original outfits and in cover bands, for over 25 years. It seemed only fitting that they should come together to form the Ultimate Fleetwood Mac tribute and pay homage to a group that dominated the charts during the band members’ formative years. Authentic-sounding and always respectful, Tusk leaves no stone unturned in replicating the sounds of one of the world’s best-loved, top-selling bands.

The Guy Mendilow Ensemble
The Forgotten Kingdom - Sand Stories with Kseniya Simonova
Saturday, May 7, 2022 at 7:30 PM
The Guy Mendilow Ensemble is "an international tour de force” (Bethlehem Morning Call) from the Middle East, South and North America. The Ensemble combines musicianship with cinematic storytelling in shows that “explode with artistry, refinement and excitement” (Hebrew Union College), whisking audiences to distant times and picturesque places, conjuring voices lost to upheaval, to spark personal connections with the stories of ordinary people living through extraordinary times of change. These visceral dimensions from long-ago-and-far-away resonate today, inspiring questions about our own struggles and dilemmas. The Ensemble draws on traditional tunes, techniques and tales, but in elegant arrangements and with radical reframing.
International sand art superstar Kseniya Sunonova (US premiere) and the Ensemble team up in The Forgotten Kingdom, an extraordinary multi-media show bringing to life Sephardi women’s voices lost to war. Simonova creates, morphs and obliterates sand imagery, crafting a flowing narrative driven by the Ensemble's evocative music and radio drama-style storytelling. Audiences traverse breathtaking landscapes of sand, from ruined Ottoman villages to bustling Mediterranean ports like Salónica circa 1944. The Ensemble adds a sweeping, cinematographic score drawing on traditional tunes, techniques and tales but in elegant arrangements and with radical reframing.
